Welcome, again to Mary Engelbreit Monday. Please join us and post the link to your blog with the related Mary Engelbreit pictures to share with everyone. It can be a ME licensed product or something that was "inspired" by Mary Engelbreit's artwork. It "should" be a photo that you took of something that you own. We're flexible here....let's have fun above all else.
A few weeks ago my neighbor, Paddy, and I stopped over at my favorite Dishtophia, again, for some tea & dessert. Remember I found those cute little Mary Engelbreit bowls there for a song? Well on this trip I found the lamp base pictured above hidden behind some other things. I got them to pull it down from a high shelf for me to take a look at it. The orginial asking price was $24.90 BUT they had marked it down 75%. She came home with me for $6.22!
The next project was to find a lampshade for it. I headed over to JoAnns where I found this "Self Adhesive Designer Shade". I already had the checkerboard fabric which I think will go perfectly with the base. I liked the angles on the shade because I think it reflects the base shape as a mirror image. Do you see it? Now all I have to do is find the time to cover the lampshade. Sometimes there just aren't enough hours in a day for me. Sigh.....
Please join me in wishing Genie from Buttons for Baga a very Happy Birthday on ME Monday. You'll find her at the first ME Monday link below. She'll be surprised!
Sorry I didn't make the cake but I'm sure Genie would Love it for her Birthday
